Daily Joystick Review: Test Drive Unlimited 2

Boosty from Dailyjoystick writes; "Test Drive Unlimited 2 is the second instalment in the series and builds upon the original title which launched in 2006 in many ways. Developed by Atari and Eden games, Test Drive Unlimited 2 aims to raise the bar and offer players some of the most luxurious cars in the world and of course also offers you not one, but two islands to explore, Ibiza and Hawaii. Test Drive Unlimited 2 is also not just about racing, but about the lifestyle that comes with it. With so much on offer here, you are in for an absolute treat with this massively open world online racer."

I'm lovin' this game. While it has its rough spots, I've already clocked way over 50 hours into it. Yeah, totally underrated.

bumnut5210d ago

Totally under developed imo, shockingly poor game.

NJShadow5210d ago

I absolutely hated it at first, but most folks don't bother to push on past the first few hours. I had to play on for a review, then ended up loving it. The game gets SO much better once you get to Hawaii though, even though Ibiza is pretty sweet as well. One huge issue has been the physics, but once you get a better car (the classic cars are pretty bad), things handling gets phenomenally better.

I must agree with you N J Shadown, most gamers give up after a few hours. Thats why at DailyJoystick we waited till I had pretty much finished the entire game before performing a review. It gets better once you get to Hawaii and now the online is pretty well fixed, its an awesome experience.

In essence, its a shell swap of the 2600+ they released previously, since they will both play the same games. I know its a bit of a stretch... but why not make a Jaguar+ that plays the Jag, 7800, 5200 and 2600 games in one? Throw in a Lynx adapter (ala super gameboy) and then you can play the portable games on the big screen too.

I can't wait to get this. Day one

jznrpg311d ago

That would have been ideal

Rebel_Scum311d ago (Edited 311d ago )

In addition to that make the games built in and stuff the cartridge support.

jznrpg311d ago

It’s odd they skipped the 5200

mastershredder311d ago

So they can support it like their Ouya... I mean VCS (I have both too ugh.). No thanks. There are very few great Atari games from that era, most of the good Atari games came way later and were arcade based. So rather than get get a compilation of those games (pretty much available on any console), it's better to spend a big chunk on another console so you can stick carts of terrible games that are basically the same game with a couple changes in control direction or a sprite. Hellz nopes. You are better off spending that money on a retro/import console and building a real library, rather than another regurgitation from a company cosplaying as Atari.
